I thought Skylanders was good fun. If you have a younger kid between 6 -14, he/she will want this game. Don’t forget to get them extra character packs, because they will want those as well and there’s quite a few to choose from.
Gamerscore wise: Not too difficult and should take roughly 12-15 hours to fully complete. I had fun even though I felt like a big dork buying it. You do not need extra characters to get the full thousand. The three that come in the box will get the job done.
